Hi everyone,
Although I've
been using macs for 15 years now I'm a newbie to scripting. I never knew it was so accessable. I wish I had delved into
it before as I'm here now out of neccessity and need to solve a work flow issue quick.
To that end if anyone can
give me some pointers on angle of attack to the follwing workflow that I need to script it will be very much
appreciated.
START OF TASK
I have 142 folders on a disk.
Inside these folders are quark documents,
varying amounts of 3 to 7 documents.
While all the document filenames are individual, there is 7 ways and 7 ways
only that the filenames end in all the documents in the 142 folders:
"(100x192)" "(80x75)" "(180x192)" "(200x114)"
"(230x36)" "(280x75)" "(280x153)"
Now, for example, all the files ending with "(100x193)" I need to resize that
quark document using Proscale to another set amount of sizes... eg 130mm x 193mm, 80mm x 193mm etc etc. Every new sized
version has to be saved into the same folder as the original file with a new file name... a number relating to the size
e.g. 130mm x 193mm could be file size 8 and have "8" as it's filename.
END OF TASK
I know the quarkxpress
xtension proscale will be a sticky point in the script, but I am going to talk to GLUON who produced proscale about
making it scriptable.
Even for me to get the point of being able to put together a script that opens documents
with a certain partial filename will be a step forward for me.
Thanks in advance to anybody who can
help.
Tim
